#2 Clearing a zone of all enemy combatants and their host population within rocket range would protect Sderot in less than 48 hours.

The left: No self defense using military means. No self defense using technological means. No self defense using political means.

#5 I would be all for a laser based system that could track and destroy small to medium rockets with a quick recharge time and could attack 6-10 targets at once. That would pretty much end the Kassam threat. Of course, leveling 1 square KM around the launch point within 30 seconds of the Kassam launch would end the threat nicely too.

#6 Stupid to waste a interceptor that costs 1000 times the incoming rocket. The proper response is a massive rocket barrage on a target of choice and use bulldozers to scrape the ground to bedrock.
